The legend set upon our shield
Brims with grand meaning. All in one
Hearts welded, souls together run
At white heat on the battlefield.
One shining way for all to take
One oath, one hope. one purpose grand.
One flag for all in all the land,
Upheld by all for Freedoms sake.
One sign set in the central sky,
Read of all men alike, a name
Written in empyrean flame
By the bold hand of Destinyl
The legend nsught could dim or mar.
Though bathed in tears and hid in
smoke,
Forth from the focal's strain it broke,
A bow above the cloud of war.
We read it pensively and knew
Some element of precious gain
Had come to it from wounds and pain,
And nightly its meaning grew.
And SO we keep upon our shield
The deathless legend: All in one,
Hearts welded. souls together run
At white heat on the battlefield
A myriad songs, together thrown
Across old CULTS, of hate, are blent,
Like starlight in the armament,
And round the world in triumph blown.
Our starry unity of stars
Gives man manly masterhood,
Our law Of love engrossed in blood
Is sealed with burning bullet-sears

The Message Forgery.

o. s. .Journal-September I'D.
The Democratic Executive Committee
has been in state of desperation for
two days now. on account of the dis
covery of the fraud perpetrated in send
ing out mutilated copies of Governor
Foraker's special message as genuine
messages. They did not seem to know
that this sort of work would be discov>
cred within few days, and are now
very anxious to crawl out the unsavory
position in which they have placed
themselves. Yesterday Chairman Dun
gan sent letter to Chairman Cappeller'
in which he promised to send out cor
rect copies of Governor Forakers special
message, and desired Mr.. Cappelier to
furnish him with certificate of the
genuineness to mhat purported to be
such a message.
This very thin device of the Democrat
ic committee to get out of dilemma
would be amusing had not their previ+
Gus conduct been of so serious and de-
spicaole nature.
Chairman Cappeller sent the follow
ing letter in response to that received
from Mr.. DUNCAN:
Hen. Irvine DUNCAN, Chairman Democratic State
Executive Committee, Columbus, O.:
DEAR SIR-Your letter of even date,
in which you enclose what purports to
be copy of Governor Forsker's special
message, and which is one of u series of
three different editions purporting to be
such message, sent out by your commits
tee. is received.
We have also on file copies of the two
other forms and editions, purpOrting to
be copies of the same, sent out by your
committee. We have no objections to
your sending out exact and correct cop-
les of Governor Foraker's special mes>
sage and hope that this special message,
as delivered, will be widely circulated,
as we know of no more effective way of
contradicting the lies and misrepresen>
tations regarding it set into circulation
by your committee. We suggest that
with true copy of the message you
send out the editorials commencing and
indorsing it, which appeared in the Cin>
cinnati Enquirer April 8, 1885. Colum>
bus Times April Z, 1886, the Cleveland
Plain Dealer April and April 10. 1886,
and in other Democratic newspapers
about the same dates. These newspa>
pers at that time united in commanding
and indorsing the special message.
Since the Republican newspapers
named in your letter have exposed the
scheme, we would suggest that in addi
ton to stopping the circulation of the
forged and garbled messages already put
out by you, that you also call in those
sent out and direct the editors of the
Mt. Vernon Banner. Kenton Democrat
and many other Democratic newspapers,
who have printed the forged and garb-
led messages, TO retract and correct in
their, next issues.
Gongratulating you on your express
ed infection of returning to honest meth
DDS, and hoping that you may be sincere
in your expression and that this letter
will be attached to any true copies of
Governor Forsker's special message
which you may send out, am very
truly yours, W. S. CAPPELLER,
Chairman.

Showing Her Breeding.

SPRINGFIELD. O., Sept. 21-In an in
terview last evening with a representa-
tive of the Associated Press, General
A. S. Bushnell, member of Governor
Foraker's staff, authorized the following
statement concerning Mrs. Clevelands
reception of Governor and Mrs. Fora
ker at the Academy in Philadelphia last
Friday evening:
preceded by Gov. Beaver, of Penn>
sylvania, and his staff, Gov. and Mrs.
Foraker and our party advanced to be
received. Gov. Beaver and party were
warmly greeted by both the President
and Mrs. Cleveland, who shook hands
cordially. President Cleveland then
shook hands with Gov. Foraker, but his
face was as expressionless as that of a
sphynx. The Governor presented Mrs.
Foraker and the President shook hands
with her. Gov. Foraker was then in>
troduced to Mrs. Cleveland. and extend
ed his hadd to her. She paid no atten-
tion to his proffered hand. but taking a
step backward and folding her hands,
she stared straight at him without a
sign of recognition. Apparently paying
no heed to this direct cut, the Governor
presented Mrs. Foraker. Mrs. Cleve-
land still stood with folded hands. de-
clining Mrs. Forker's extended hand
and acknowledging her presence ouly by
a freezing inclination of her head. Gen.
Axline and his wife we're presented to
the President and Mrs. Cleveland and
both shook hands with them, and i'm
mediately afterward Mrs. Bushnell and
myself were introduced and we're re-
ceived in the same cordial manner.
"The cut of Governor and Mrs. Fora
ker was made more direct by our recep-
tion than it would have been had Mrs.
Cleveland not shaken hands with the re-
mainder of the Ohio party. 1t has been
stated that Mrs Cleveland was not sha
king hands with any of her guests. but
that is great mistake. for she received
both those who preceded and those who
followed Governor and Mrs, Foraker
very cordially. Regret was expressed
on all sides that the incident should
have occurred. for everybody felt that
Mrs. Cleveland, as the first lady of the
land, could not afford to snub the Chief
Magistrate of the third State in the
Union, to say nothing of the affront to a
lady of Mrs. Foraker's character"

THURMAN ON POWELL.

Hon. Allen G. Thurman was advertised
TO open the Democratic campaign with
Powell at Hamilton. The following ex-
tract from Thurman's speech after his
return from the Chicago convention
when Powell betrayed him indicates
why:
CATER arrived at Chicago as many Of
my friends said that they were bound to
present my name for the nomination,
and so earnestly asked me TO consent to
their efforts that had not the heart to
resist them. am not here to throw cold
water on anything tEkk has been done.
There were but few men there whose
actions it would be the sheerest hypocracy
in me to express approval, but can live
without their support, and hope they
can live without mine"

THE testimony in the South Carolina
contested election case of Smalls Color
ed against Elliott (white) shows the
perfection of the Democratic counting
out machinery in that State. The total
voting population of the district con-
tested (the SEVENTY is 4O,56S. Of this
number only 1895 are white, while 32.-
S93 are colored. Of this latter number,
as has been shown in previous elections,
fully 10000 are uncOmpromising and
even fierce Republicans. In fact Elliott
contends in his brief that a colored man
who voted the Democratic ticket put his
life, property and church and personal
relations in jeopardy. Smalls. the Re-
publican candidate, has always been
popular in the district. and has been
four times returned to Congress. It is
well to remember in passing, that this
was the only district in which it
was regarded as worth while to nom.
mate a Republican candidate for the
Fiftieth Congress. The sure and smooth
working of the contingent machinery
is shown by the fact that in spite Of
these overwhelming Republican odds,
Smslls was given only 5.961 votes, while
his white opponent was declared to have
received 6,493, majority of 532.

THE death of Gen. William Preston, of
Kentucky, removes from the sight of the
audience that witnesses the plays on the
stage of the world one of the finest per-
sonal figures in a State famous for men
of commanding presence.
Gen. Preston was one of the remark
able group that composed the Kentucky
delegation to the National Democratic
Convention held in this city. at Smith &
Nixon's Hall, 81 years ago, and that
nominated James Buchanan and John C.
Breckinridge for President and Vice
President of the United States. Breck>
inridge himself was a delegate, and Mr..
Preston nominated him for Vice Presi
dent, an honor Breckinridge attempted
to decline on the spot, as he had not
been prepared for it.
Preston was Minister to Spain under
Buchanan, and made very favorable
impression. Indeed, be was one of the
most prepossessing and pleasing of men,

charmed all listeners. His sympathies
were entirely and profoundly Southern
in the great sectional conflict. and his
war record and adventures after the war
were almost equal in romantic interest,
to the experiences of his friend Breckin-
ridge, whose war career was one of re'
markable vicissitudes.
Preston found for time a refuge in
Mexico. as Breckinridge in France. 1t
was some time before could make up
his to accept the conditions of peace in
his country, but when he did, something
of his old time activity as politician
returned, and he appeared second time

this city as a delegate from Kentucky,

Now that he is gone, it will be seen in
Kentucky that there is not left in the
State a citizen who is so picturesque.

A HypOcriticaI Resolution

The following extract is tahen from q
resolution adopted by the late Demo
cratic State Convention of Ohio:
We demand the fullest safeguards for
the ballOt-box, and the punishment of
all who seek to corrupt it.
Read in the light of modern Demo
cratic history. the above quotation, for
pure impudence and Pecksnifian hypoc-
risy, appears unsurpassed. When this
resolution was passed, the entire Demo-
cratic party of the State was in deep
disgrace for endeavOring by the united
votes of its Representatives in the Leg
islsture to sustain the Vilest frauds and
outrages upon the ballot-box, that were
ever perpetrated in Ohio. In the me
tropolis of our State a systematic at
tempt was made by the leaders and tools
of the Democratic party to commit the
most glaring frauds upon the ballOt-box,
and then sustain them by perjury and
forgery. When the beneiciaries of
these acts found their way to the legis-
lsture and the Republicans had clearly
exposed the plots and crimes which bad
enabled the fraud members to secure
their seats, every Democratic member
in both houses voted to endorse the bal>
lot-box suffers and scoundrels and re
tain in the General Assembly the mem
bers who had been elected by such cor
rupt and violent means.
At the very moment when this resolu.
tion was passed s0me,o of the criminals
who had been engaged in carrying
through the Cincinnati frauds were in
the penitentiary y;other Democratic breth-
ren we're nnder arrest and indictment at
Columbus; and nearly every newspaper
and advertising wall in the State was
covered with the historical figures, "2Os
sos, 726-926."
who voted for this resolution were all
conscious that it was only intended as a
blind. a concession to public sentiment,
which had been outraged by Democratic
frauds and forgeries. They all knew
that President Cleveland would never
have been President had there been in
all the States of the Union, "the fullest
safeguards for the ballot-box." They
knew there would be Republican ma
Jority in both branches of Congress if
the purity of the ballot-box had not been
disturbed by the foul hands of DemOc+
racy. They knew that the Presidency,
the Cabinet, the House of Represents
tiyes, we're won by the Democratic par
ty by destroying the freedom and purity
of the ballot box, and shamelessly tram
ping under foot the constitutional
rights of hundreds of thousands of vot
ers. They knew that if "the fullest
safeguards for the ballot box and the
punishment CT all who corrupt it" were
enforced the Democratic party would
be swept from power by the people.
But, knowing that the resolution was d
mockery and fraud. they could vote
for it with pleasure. 1t sounded moral,
and, like the wbited sepulcher, looked
beautiful on the outside, and served to
hide the rottenness and uncleanness
within .-Clev. Leader.

THIS is from the Republican Platform
of the State of New York:
ok We heartily indorse the purpose
of the Republican majority of the Leg
islature in passing the bills to limit and
restrict the liquor traffic, and we con-
denn the vetoes of the Governor as hos
tile to that purpose. We recommend
comprehensive and efficient legislation
for giving local option by counties,
towns and cities. and restriction by tax
alton in such localities as do not by
their option exclude absolutely the
traffic"
And yet the temperance men who
must have party of their own are not
well pleased. Indeed. the demand for a
party seems to be much in excess of de+
vOtion to principle.

The Verdict Unanimous

w. D. Suit druggist, Bipus, Ind, testifies: 4
can recommend Electric Bitters as the very
best remedy; every bottle sold has given re-
lief in every case; one man took six bottles
and was cured of rheumatism of 10 years
standing Abraham Hare, druggist, Bell
will, Ohio, affirms: THE best selling medicine
| have ever handred in my 20 years exper-
fence, is Electric Bitters.' Thousands OF
others have added their testimony, so that
the verdict is unanimous that Electric Bitters
do cure all diseases of the liver, kidneys or
blood; only 80 cts a bottle at Pattersons'. 2
